There’s also new Street View in many US cities, including New Orleans, Baton Rouge, El Paso, Wichita, Savannah and Colorado Spring. Even more exciting, in the official announcement Google allude to a “hidden special surprise” in the US images. What could that be?

There’s hundreds of new streets covered across the three countries, so get exploring and let us know what you find!

In keeping with my narrow view of the world, the first place I visited was Ramsay Street, which is actually a cul-de-sac called Pin Oak Court / Google Earth in the suburbs of Melbourne. This has made my day! 😀

I find it interesting that not only is the imagery very low resolution (so low they don’t need to blur faces or license plates because they’re already blurry), but that the imagery is (in some cases) more than 2 years old.

How many times are we going to hear that bizarre argument that burlgars could use Googlesightseeing to find houses to rob. By that same measure, perhaps we should ban people who walk or drive up and down roads…
